The latest person to jump on the Ashley Dupre bandwagon is one of her former 'co-workers.'

Natalie McLennan, a former top escort who claims to have worked with Ashley making $2,000 an hour under the name Natalia, is spilling the beans.

Natalie even wrote an entire memoir where she names celebrities including Lenny Kravitz, Fred Durst and photographer Peter Beard among her clients. Kravitz's rep has already denied the claims, telling the New York Daily News, "(The story is) an absolute fabrication. Lenny Kravitz does not know nor has he slept with this woman."

Natalie says she even recalls Ashley as a naive 19-year-old who said, "I don't mind taking my clothes off" during her initial audition to be one of the escorts. She even makes the allegation that Ashley may have been a government informant saying, "It seemed like an awfully big coincidence that she happened to be at the center of the government's biggest prostitution sting operation."

Natalie's book titled "The Price" hits bookstores on Tuesday.
Ashley Dupre, also known as former Governor Eliot Spitzer's prostitute of choice, is ready to face the music and talk.

Ashley, 23, decided to open up about her time spent working for the Emperors Club VIP escort service with Diane Sawyer. She was happy to discuss how an "upper middle-class, girl next door got into the profession and the psychological journey she continues to experience."

She also spoke to People, saying, "Everyone knows me as 'that girl,' but I'm not just 'that girl.' I have a lot of depth, a lot of layers."

The interview will air on this week's edition of 20/20 on Friday at 10 p.m. and we'll definitely be tuning in.
The infamous hooker that brought ended Eliot Spitzer’s career does not have a sense of humor.

According to Page Six, Ashley was shopping on 5th Avenue when a pedicab driver stopped and said, "Hey, Ashley, how about the ride of your life, free of charge? Consider it professional courtesy, since we both work the streets!"

Ouch! That’s pretty low, but realllly funny at the same time. Naturally, Ashley was pissed because everyone started looking at her so she yelled back "Get lost, idiot!"

That’s all she could come up with? Get Lost Idiot? Come on Ashley, the guy had some great lines, the least you could have done is gotten back to him with a good one liner.
Well we should have seen this coming. Ashley Dupre, known better as Spitzer's girl, recently dropped her lawsuit against Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild so she could "concentrate on her many projects" in the works.

And it looks like her first order of business is finding love. Move over Tila Tequila! There's a new skank in town! Ashley is in talks with MTV and other networks to launch her own dating show.

She's working with Handprint Media, the same company that has managed Nicole Richie and Pamela Anderson's careers. Would you watch a former prostitute find love, or has TV gone too far?
Ashley Dupre has dropped her lawsuit against Joe Francis. Ashley filed the suit in April for $10 million claiming he had exploited her name and image for profit.

Ashley's attorney Richard C. Wolfe said in a statement today, "Ms. Dupré wants to eliminate all negativity from her life and focus on the positive. She has prospects for many exciting new projects and is looking forward to starting a new chapter."

That was probably a good call, seeing as though Ashley was caught signing her consent to be videotaped while the cameras were rolling. She probably wouldn't have gotten the money anyway. Wonder what her new pursuits are?!
